Abstract
The present chapter aims to present the deleterious effects of dual exposure to domestic violence (DV) and other traumatic experiences on the quality of mother-child relating patterns. Outcomes of early exposure to DV are presented. Using an ecological-developmental perspective that accounts for child and environmental characteristics, this chapter presents updated literature on the effects of DV in child development and the parent-child relationship. Early childhood interventions targeting mother-child interactions in the context of exposure to DV are presented.
